Tips for Hiring the Right Broker

We are always hearing about first time home buyers. New programs for first time buyers, special financing for first time buyers, but what about sellers? You may not realize this but selling your first home can be an extremely frustrating experience. Here at Remington Properties, we want to help make your first selling experience a wonderful one. Here are some tips to help you get through!

Hire a professional

You may think all real estate brokers are alike but they are not. There is a huge difference between a full time broker and one who works a full time job and does real estate on the side. Experience matters when you’re selling.

Interview more than one broker

Even the best brokers won’t be a personality match for every seller. You should interview at least 3 brokers before you decide who will have the privilege of selling your home.

Ask for help

A professional broker should have people on staff to help you with things like staging, curb appeal, pricing ideas and more. If your broker doesn’t offer these services, we recommend finding someone else to list your home.

Expect Professional Service

You set a high standard for your home and your broker should be no different. If they don’t order professional services like photography and top-notch marketing, it may be time to shop around.

Accept and follow their advice

A professional real estate broker will have skills and experience to sell your home for top dollar in the least amount of time. If they’re doing their job, they won’t list for a price higher than is indicated by comps. Staging experts know what sells, listen and do what they recommend. Don’t cut corners and you’ll see the results in your days on market and selling price.
